I searched for a flight from Singapore to Penang and back.
The Changi airport tax is $48. The Penang airport tax is $12.
For short distance on budget airlines, the fare can be as low as $30. So, the Changi airport tax of $48 is too high.
Airlines will bypass Singapore. Passengers will also choose other airports.
But Singaporeans are stuck and have to fly out of Changi. It is too troublesome to go to Senai, Johore.
So, Singaporeans are stuck with high cost. Sad.
Worse, the Changi airport tax is expected to increase over the next few years to fund the development of Terminal 5. We are pricing Changi out of the market!

Even with the T5 expansions on hold the airport still continue to increase...
